that's a great quote that abraham lincoln used in scripture, and so if we look at the opportunity to take people on the left and people on the right and bring them together with their disparate political views and then how can we come on with projects that we all agree on? it might be increasing the ease for international adoptions, it might be providing fresh water in africa or haiti, it could be mobile medical units in tulsa. there's a group down there called in his image which served 7,000 people last year who didn't have insurance. so i think the excitement that i see going forward now for our country is that all of us need to kind of help president obama create his legacy which i'm sure he does not want to go down as the president that bankrupted america. so all of us around this table, regardless of our political stripes, have a great vested interest in helping him make sure that doesn't happen. and, of course, the role all of us can play in deciding what do we want to spend our government money on and be an influence so we can have our voices heard as to do we really want to s

whoever would understand in his heart the meaning of america will find it in the life of abraham lincoln. beyond those monuments to heroism is the potomac river, and on the far shore the sloping hills of arlington national cemetery, with its row upon row of simple white markers bearing crosses or stars of david. they add up to only a tiny fraction of the price that has been paid for our freedom. each one of those markers is a monument to the kind of hero i spoke of earlier. their lives ended in places called belleau wood, the argonne, omaha beach, salerno, and halfway around the world on guadalcanal, tarawa, pork chop hill, the chosin reservoir, and in a hundred rice paddies and jungles of a place called vietnam. under one such marker lies a young man, martin treptow, who left his job in a small town barbershop in 1917 to go to france with the famed rainbow division. there, on the western front, he was killed trying to carry a message between battalions under heavy artillery fire. we're told that on his body was found a diary. on the flyleaf under the heading, "my pledge,'' he had writte

when abraham lincoln took office two years earlier, the dome above us was a half-built eyesore. conventional wisdom was that it should be left unfinished until the war ended giving the tremendous vails and financial needs of the times. but the half-dome symbolized the half-divided nation. lincoln said, if people see the capitol going on, it's a sign that we intend the union shall go on. and so despite the conflict which engulfed the nation and surrounded the city, the dome continued to rise. on december 2nd, 1863, the statue of freedom, a woman, was placed atop the dome where she still stands today. in a sublime irony, it was a former slave now free american phillip reid who helped to cast the bronze statue. now our present times are not as perilous or despairing as they were in 1863, but in 2013, far too many doubt the future of this great nation and our ability to tackle our own ear's half-finished domes. today's problems are entractable, they say, the times are so complex, the differences in the countries of the world so deep, we will never overcome them. when thoughts like t
